I have a can of non-alc “Aperol” spritz in the vague hope that I might still be motivated to do something that requires concentration this evening. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

Fennel tea for me because that’s what I felt like. #ConfinedCocktails is giving me some much needed perspective. Thank you!

I made red wine risotto & am drinking some of the unused wine. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

I made an impulse purchase of some (slightly disappointing) olives & the only suitable drink I have to pair with them is Italian non-alc beer. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

Non-alc beer for me, with these purportedly teriyaki-flavoured crisps because I was determined to try something new. Should perhaps have picked the nori & wasabi flavour. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

Peroni senza alcol for me, with little Japanese crackers. I ought to be (but am not) writing a talk that I’m giving in a week & a half. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

I have a can of premixed non-alcoholic mocktail pina colada. The cashier asked for ID, despite the many visibly white hairs in my beard & the fact that the label says “ALCOHOL FREE” in large, friendly letters. My moisturiser is clearly worth every penny. #ConfinedCocktails

I have a can of premixed non-alc mock-Aperol spritz. In other news, I have visited the barber & my beard is not quite as dodgy as it used to be. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

I also have pineapple, in the form of a can of non-alc pretend pina colada. This is delicious, but not the right pairing for my wasabi-flavoured snacks. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

I have very tired legs after completing the 28km 1st quarter Thames Path Challenge. Our group stopped for drinks in the pub before the long train journey home from Hampton Court. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

I have been on a long walk to Ally Pally & am now drinking the leftovers of a sparkling pineapple & grapefruit thing, enlivened with gin. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

Non-alcoholic premixed mock-Aperol spritz for me. No home wifi or working washing machine, so I was tempted by something stronger, but I also have a headache... #FirstWorldProblems #ConfinedCocktails

Gin & tonic for me, which I've made a bit too strong (& don't deserve because I'm two essays short of meeting my self-imposed marking quota). Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

Despite what you might think, this is not Irn Bru but a non-alc imitation aperol spritz from a can. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

I’m having a pre-dinner glass of sherry while the pasta is cooking. I got soaked on the way to the athletics at Stratford & delayed by Overground problems on the way back, but there were some pretty good performances. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

I'm drinking plain lemonade whilst wearing a Mickey Mouse t-shirt and short trousers, as if nothing had changed in the past 40 years. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

This bright orange drink in support of the Dutch women is a "super smoothie" saved from a meal deal & enlivened with a little gin. Cheers to everyone in need of some brightness! #ConfinedCocktails #chEUROty25

Joining in #ConfinedCocktails late from Cambridge, where I'm enjoying the traditional annual meet-up with friends from my archives course. This is a Sanpellegrino Aranciata. No photos available of afternoon beers. Cheers!

Joining in #ConfinedCocktails late with a small glass of beer to reward myself for fixing the bathroom blind. I considered Pimms but had eaten the strawberries earlier with ice-cream. Cheers!

Cookies for tomorrow's Pride picnic. Contrary to appearances, they were made not by a 4-year-old but by me [age redacted].

Small glass of port for me (because that’s how much was left in the bottle), loosely inspired by watching the 1995 Persuasion on iPlayer, which I can now appreciate more than I did when it was new. #ConfinedCocktails
